In June of 2015, I purchased two tickets for the next year's Olympic Track Trials in Eugene Oregon. I was excited to sit and watch our nation's best distance racers with my dad. It would be the first time either of us had seen a pro level track meet.

In June of 2016, I toed the line for a 10,000 meter track race in Portland, when I finished, I was the 23rd ranked 10ker in the United States and had earned a spot on the line at the Olympic Trials. I could offer my mom the extra ticket.

To be brief, my parents are my biggest fans. My achievements are theirs, and made possible by them. The airfare to Oregon is a financial hurdle for our family. We humbly ask our friends, family, and well-wishers for their assistance in getting my parents to Eugene to see their son compete with the best.

We hope the goal amount of this campaign will fund the round trip travel expenses of both my parents, from Indianapolis to Eugene. The race is July first.

Thank you,
Noah (Sue, and David)
